Chocolate Frosting

January 8th, 2005

Yield: enough to frost two 8″ or 9″ layers, or one 9″x13″ layer

  • 1 1/2 cups butter
  • 1 c. cocoa
  • 2 lbs. powdered sugar
  • 1 Tbs. vanilla
  • 1/2 c. milk (whole milk works best though)

In a large mixing bowl carefully beat together butter, cocoa, one pound of powdered sugar, vanilla and milk; scraping sides of bowl frequently. Add remaining powdered sugar, beat until creamy. Add more milk if necessary to make it the appropriate consistency. You also might want to have extra powdered sugar on hand in the event you add too much milk!
